When one of our richest aud most promi-
nent citizens was small child, he owned a
yoke of steers and proudly welded the eoad
over them. One bright morning his grand
father met him and said, "Look here, Peter,
| had curious dream last night. 1 dreamt
that you made me present of your steers"
"All right" answered the boy, "you may
have them" A brieftlme afterwards Peter
met his grandfather and remarked that he had
had curious dream the previous night
"Well, what was it?" asked the grandfather.
and promptly came the reply, II dreamt that
you gave me the farm up by the stream"
When the grandfather gave the deed of the
farm to the boy, he said, "Well, Peter.
guess we wont have any more dreams" One
of his friends, who heard the narrative, re
marked that Peter had been exchanging steers
for farms ever since then. We must not me-
glact to add that he still owns it.
